           Bamber Bridge
Football in Bamber Bridge can be traced back as far as the late 1800s. However, the present
club was established in the summer of 1974 when the old Bamber Bridge club amalgamated
with neighbouring outfit Walton-Le-Dale. The new club played at the King George’s Playing
Field and the early years were marked with a high degree of success on the local football
scene.

The first sixteen seasons was spent in the Preston & District League Premier Division and
many honours were gained. The first season, 1974-75, proved a somewhat modest one with
a 12th place finish in the league. However, an improved showing the following term saw the
fledgling club finish 5th in the table and they won their first piece of silverware, when lifting
the Lytham Medal competition. Modest though this first honour may have been, it was to be
the first of many successes to come the clubs way throughout the years that followed. The
Premier Division championship was won for the first time in the 1980-81 season and was the
first of four title successes. This honour was also achieved in 1985-86, 1986-87 and for the
last time in 1989-90. The club also finished as Premier Division runners-up three times in
1978-79, 1982-83 and 1984-85.

During those sixteen seasons spent in the Preston & District League ‘Brig’ also enjoyed
success in the League Cup competition, the Guildhall Cup. They emerged winners of the
tournament on four occasions; firstly in 1978-79 and again in 1980-81, when they achieved
the ‘league and cup double’ for the first time. They won the Guildhall Cup for the third time
in 1984-85 and again in 1989-90, when winning the ‘league and cup double’ for the second
time. The club were also Finalists in 1977-78, 1979-80 and 1987-88. Along the way, the club
finished as finalists in the Premier Division Ward Shield in 1983-84.

In those early years Bamber Bridge won the prestigious Lancashire FA Amateur Shield in
1981-82 and were finalists in 1980-81 and 1989-90.

Throughout this period, the club committee had worked towards establishing a football ground
of their own and in 1983 a piece of derelict land was purchased with the help of South Ribble
District Council and the Sports Council. It took four years of dedicated work and considerable
expense to change this overgrown land into a football pitch, which was named Irongate after
the local area. It was indeed a proud moment to see the team play on the club’s own ground
after having played on a park pitch for so long. The first game at Irongate was played in
August 1987 and since then continual development and improvements have taken place at
the ground to enable the club to enjoy a place within the National League System.

Sustained success in the Preston & District League prompted the club to seek progression and
at the beginning of the 1990-91 campaign the club joined the North West Counties League.
In their first season, in what was in those days, the first rung of the National League System,
’Brig’ finished in a creditable 4th spot in the Second Division. Twelve months later and the
club won its first honour in the semi-professional game when taking the North West Counties
League Second Division championship and with it promotion to the top flight. The 1992-93
campaign proved to be a storming success with a runners-up spot in the First Division which
was to see the club promoted for the second season running with a place in the First Division
of the Northern Premier League. During that memorable season the club reached the Semi-
Final of the FA Vase, only one step away from the famous Wembley Stadium. Then just to top

things off, ‘Brig’ were finalists in the North West Counties League Floodlit Trophy. The club’s
three year stay in the NWCL had been a rollercoaster ride.

During this period floodlights were installed at the Irongate ground and further ground
improvements were made to facilitate promotion to the Northern Premier League. In their first
season in the NPL, the club finished in a creditable 13th place in the First Division and were
finalists in the First Division Cup. In the following campaign, 1994-95, the club won promotion
for the fourth time in its history, after finishing runners-up in the First Division. Also that term,
Brig captured the Northern Premier League Challenge Cup when overcoming those famous
cup fighters, Bishop Auckland, by 2-1 at Bolton Wanderers’ old ground, Burnden Park, before
lifting the Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy, with a 2-1 victory over favourites Morecambe at
Deepdale.

Against all the odds in 1995-96, their first season in the Premier Division, the club won the
Northern Premier League title beating off late challenges from Hyde United and Boston
United, the final outcome depending on the results on the last day of the season - a history
making season for the club. ‘Brig’ reached the Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy Final for the
second time on the trot, but this time finished as runners-up, losing 0-1 against Morecambe;
the Final once more being played at Deepdale.

Bamber Bridge entertained the Czech Republic International team in a friendly game prior
to the Czechs opening game against Germany in the European International Championship
Finals in 1996. The successful Czech side had used Irongate for some of their preparations
for the tournament in which they eventually finished as finalists.

In 1999-00 the club enjoyed an excellent run in the FA Cup, reaching the Second Round
Proper for the first time in their history before bowing out by a narrow 0-1 margin at Football
League Second Division side Cambridge United, the result decided on a disputed penalty.
The club made it to the Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy Final for the third time that season
but once again finished as runners-up after going down heavily by 0-5 against Marine in the
Final at Chorley’s Victory Park.

After enjoying seven years in the Premier Division, the 2001-02 season proved a disaster with
the club finishing bottom of the pile, and with a last minute reprieve via the play-offs failing to
materialise, the club experienced relegation for the first time in its history. Restructuring of
the National League System at the start of the 2004-05 season saw the club regain Premier
Division status after two years in the lower section.

Time spent back in the higher grade though lasted only twelve months and the club once
again experienced the bitter pill of relegation at the end of the 2004-05 season, after finishing
second from the bottom of the table. The season however, was not a complete disaster and
despite the loss of Premier Division status, the Northern Premier League President’s Cup was
lifted with a 3-2 aggregate win over Witton Albion.

Further restructuring of the National League System in season 2007-08 saw the club placed
in the First Division North of the Northern Premier League. ’Brig’ reached the play-offs in the
first season of the new regionalised set-up; losing out by 2-3 to FC United of Manchester in

the Semi-Final at Gigg Lane, Bury. ‘Brig’ once again reached the Lancashire FA Challenge
Trophy Final for the fourth time in 2010-11 but lost out by 0-1 against AFC Fylde in the Final
at Bolton Wanderers’ Reebok Stadium.

Due to financial restrictions the season 2012-12 was one of consolidation in the 1st Division
North and by Easter saw a change in manager , with Tony Greenwood leaving the club and
Neil Crowe who had been Tony’s assistant stepping up to the manager’s job. Also appointed
was Neil Reynolds who had re-joined the club at the start of 2009-2010 season and joined
the coaching staff the following season and stepped up further as assistant manager to Neil
Crowe. The season proved to be a very hard one both on and off the field, but a 13th place
reflected on all the hard work that the management and players had put in.

Season 2012-13 started off very slowly with consistency very hard to come by, then after the
Christmas period , things began to improve with new signings, and two great runs especially
the last one which saw us lose only 3 games out of the last 17, to finish the season just outside
the play offs in 9th place.

The following season turned out to be more successful, with ‘Brig’ narrowly missing out on
promotion after suffering defeat at the hands of Ramsbottom United in extra time of the play-
off Final. That match turned out to be the last game to be played at The Irongate Stadium;
after local legend Sir Tom Finney passed away in February, the club obtained permission to
rename the ground The Sir Tom Finney Stadium. It is a name that is world famous in football
and all at the club feel very proud and humble that Sir Tom’s family agreed; his son Brian also
became an honorary president of the club.

After the worst possible start to the 2014-15 season, in which ‘Brig’ conceded 7 goals in the
opening match of the season, the only way from there was up. With one or two changes in
the playing staff , things got much better and the club became a force at both home and away.
In the middle of October, the club signed arguably one of the best players to wear a B.B.F.C.
Shirt in the vastly experienced ex Preston North End and Nottingham Forrest midfielder Paul
McKenna. After a couple of games Paul settled in and results improved all the time .Despite
a blip in form around Christmas the team finished in third place and after beating Northwich
Victoria in the semi-final of the play offs ‘Brig’ lost the final for the second season in a row, this
time to Darlington 1883.

Season 2015-16 was an indifferent season in the league , but an F.A. Cup campaign that saw
‘Brig’ reach the 4th Qualifying round enabled some well needed revenue to enter the club’s
coffers. After one of the worst Decembers on record for rain, Brig did well to finish the season
at The Sir Tom Finney Stadium due to a collapsed drain and that hard-earned revenue from
the F.A.Cup was soon spent on repairing the pitch.

There was some consolation when ‘the Brig’ won the prestigious Fair Play Award for the three
divisions of the Northern Premier League, which came with a cheque for £1000,

Confessions of a Newcomer
                                     How I became part of the Cable Nation
                                               by Gareth Coates

As this is the final programme of the League season, I thought I would take up a little space
for some personal reflections on the season and how I (accidentally) became involved with the
club as your programme editor.

I’ve been involved in football at this level for most of my life; I worked for the Middlesex FA for
five and a half years before moving to Kirkby for family reasons at the end of 2015 and had
produced all the Middlesex FA’s programmes and publications throughout my time there. I
also ran their competitions for the last three years I was there.

That’s not to say I didn’t know what it is like to volunteer for your local club; I remain a vice-
president of my old club, Ashford Town (Middlesex), where I did all manner of jobs over a ten-
year spell. My affection for the Tangerines, who like Cables, play at Step 4 - in Division One
Central of the Southern League - remains undimmed.

Mind you, finding a new job was my priority after relocating and although I watched a few
matches at other clubs last season, groundhopping wasn’t giving me much enjoyment. Then,
on the opening day of this season, I walked into Volair Park for the first time.

As soon as you walk down Hope Street, you can sense the atmosphere and the history of the
ground. Then you pass through the turnstile; the ground is magnificent, in its own way. Maybe
it helped that the weather was good, or that we won; either way, Cables is my local senior club
and I enjoyed my first visit and how friendly the welcome was.While I attended matches only
sporadically, I kept a close eye on results and bought a share when the annual drive was run.

And then, at the end of January, I found myself being asked to put together a single programme,
as my predecessor, Paul Watkinson, had stepped down. I don’t blame him! Paul does a
number of other jobs around the club and this particular role is a time-consuming one. But I
knew that if I said ‘no’, the club could get fined, so I agreed to help out. As the saying goes,
‘the rest is history’.I’ve enjoyed the last few months tremendously, even if I’m a bit remote from
the action sometimes.

To my frustration, I don’t get to many games; it is difficult to juggle work, studying with the
Open University and the demands of two small children alongside helping a football club. For
example, because of an early deadline caused by Easter, I had to choose between watching
the Lancaster match or compiling this programme; I saw the result come in on Twitter. Yet, I
still feel part of it all and this club already feels as special to me as Ashford was and is. To get
the crowds that we do and to generate such a phenomenal atmosphere at games is brilliant
and I sense that this club - our club - is building something special.

So, to finish, I’d like to say thank you. A special thank you to all those who have helped me with
the programme, particularly our brilliant photographer David Fry. Thank you to the Board and
all the volunteers who put in far more work than I do to keep the club on an even keel. Thank
you to the players for giving your all every week. Thank you to the supporters who get behind
the team each and every week.Thank you all for making me feel welcome and that I’m part of
this great club. I hope that my efforts in recent weeks have provided some enjoyment and that
I’ve been able to build on Paul’s work before mine.

Have a great summer. See you next season!

HARRISON PARK TO HOST INTEGRO LEAGUE CUP FINAL
Leek Town’s Harrison Park has been chosen to host the final of this season’s Integro Sports Cup
final.

The Northern Premier League’s League Cup will be contested between our visitors today, Bamber
Bridge and Grantham Town on Wednesday 19th April.

Grantham beat Clitheroe 2-1 with a brace from Lee Shaw to book their place in the final, while Brig
needed penalties to see off Buxton as they were held to a 0-0 draw before Regan Linney scored the
all important spot kick in a 4-2 victory.

This isn’t the first time Harrison Park has hosted a big game this season as the ground was chosen
to host England under 17’s game against Spain in February of this year with the visitors running out
5-1 winners.

We would like to wish Bamber Bridge the very best of luck in the Final.

SEADOGS ASSISTANT MANAGER HANGS UP HIS BOOTS
Chris Bolder, player/assistant-manager at Evo-Stik Northern Premeir League First Division North
club Scarborough Athletic, has decided to hang up his boots.

Bolder, 34, collapsed during Saturday’s 2-0 win at Seel Park against Mossley AFC after suffering
from breathing difficulties.

He was then stretchered from the pitch and taken to a nearby hospital.

Bolder has been suffering high blood pressure for seven years or so and is under treatment for it.

But since coming out of hospital and reflecting on the situation over the weekend, he has decided
to call time on his playing career with Boro and concentrate on his off-field assistance to manager
Steve Kittrick.

Bolder played in the Football League for Grimsby Town between 2001 and 2004 after coming through
the youth ranks at Hull City.

The midfielder has also appeared for Ossett Town and Guiseley AFC as well as notably spending
seven seasons in two spells with North Ferriby United.

He joined Scarborough prior to the 2013-14 season along with North Ferriby team-mates Paul Foot,
Gary Bradshaw and Steve Ridley, firmly establishing himself in the centre of the Boro midfield.

Bolder was cruelly sidelined in November 2014 with a cruciate knee injury against Bamber Bridge,
but he still kept involved with the club as a coach.

In December 2015, he stepped up alongside Matty Bloor to take temporary charge of the first-team
and was key to the subsequent appointment of Kittrick as manager.

GROUND PROBLEMS MAY DENY DARLINGTON PLAY-OFF PLACE
There are question marks about Darlington’s participation in the Vanarama National League North
playoffs.

The Quakers have released a statement after talk gathered pace that their stadium may not be fit
for the step up.

They moved back to Darlington in December, but there is debate about Blackwell Meadows’
certificate.

Darlo are on track to finish in the playoffs, a point behind fourth placed Salford City and are level on
points with Chorley and Stockport County.

A club statement didn’t deny there are problems but they confirmed they are waiting on the decision
of the league.

“The Board of Darlington are aware of rumours concerning whether Blackwell Meadows meets the
grading requirements to allow the club to complete in the National League playoffs,” it read.

“Discussions are continuing with the National League and fans will be informed as soon as a
decision is taken by the League.

“The club will make no further comment until then on any of its media outlets”

NPL STARS HONOURED AT AWARDS CEREMONY
Last Sunday night saw the annual Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Awards Evening held in
Barnsley at the plush Brooklands Holiday Inn.

It was a season where no player picked up more than one individual award, with the gongs being
handed out by the guest of honour, the former Wrexham and Wolves manager Dean Saunders.

The Premier Division Player Of The Year award went to Blyth Spartans’ Daniel Maguire. He capped
off a memorable weekend by picking up the award just 24 hours after helping the North East side win
promotion out of the Northern Premier League, his 26 goals being critical for the club’s promotion.

He was also to come third place in the supporters player of the year award.

While Marcus Dinanga of Matlock Town took the Young player Of The Year award for the Premier
Division.

The forward has impressed many people during his loan spell at the Derbyshire club from
Championship side Burton Albion.

Each division has a team of the season and the Premier Division’s team read: Shane Bland (Whitby
Town), Andy White (Nantwich Town), Jack Duggan (Stourbridge), Dan Scarr (Stourbridge), Kallum
Griffiths (Spennymoor Town), Robbie Dale (Blyth Spartans), Dale Hopson (Whitby Town), Sean
Cooke (Nantwich Town), Marcus Dinanga (Matlock Town), Luke Benbow (Stourbridge) and Daniel
Maguire (Blyth Spartans)

James Walshaw has been key to Farsley Celtic’s quest for promotion and it was no surprise that
he took the Payer Of The Year award for the First Division North. The leading scorer for the division
has bagged 31 goals this season as the Villagers lead the table a point ahead of Lancaster City.

Meanwhile, Elliott Rokka of Radcliffe Borough picked up the Young Player Of The Year award for
the division The young forward has scored nine goals in 16 games for the Boro this season. It was
a great night for Rokka as he bagged the runners-up spot in the vote for supporters player of the
year award.

The team of the season was dominated by Farsley Celtic players, as four players made up the team
of the year, Graeme Kibbin, Aaron Hardy, Lewis Nightingale and James Walshaw.

In full the team was Graeme Kibbin (Farsley Celtic), Adam Sumner (Lancaster City), Tyrone Gray
(Ossett Town), Chris Anderson (Tadcaster Albion), Aaron Hardy (Farsley Celtic), Lewis Nightingale
(Farsley Celtic), Sam Bailey (Kendal Town), Jonathan Greening (Tadcaster Albion), Jordan
Connerton (Lancaster City), James Walshaw (Farsley Celtic) and Aaron Burns (Trafford FC).

When you have Gavin Allott in your side you always know that you are going to get goals and this
season has been no different for the former Frickley Athletic man as he has bagged 24 goals so
far this season for Shaw Lane as they look for promotion to the Premier Division, he was rewarded
for his goals by scooping the Player Of The Year award for the First Division South. Witton Albion’s
Bradley Bauress picked up the Young Player Of The Year award. The Cheshire club is in the hunt for
promotion this season thanks in part to his 18 league goals that he has netted for the side.

Michael Duggan (Spalding United), Matty Devine (Witton Albion), Nathan Stanfield (Spalding
United), Liam Dolman (AFC Rushden and Diamonds), Anthony Gardener (Witton Albion), Ryan
Qualter (Shaw Lane AFC), Bradley Bauress (Witton Albion), Kelvin Lugsden (Shaw Lane), Gavin
Allott (Shaw Lane), Anthony Malbon (Kidsgrove Athletic) and Bradley Wells (Spalding United) made
up the team of the year for the NPL First Division South.

The Northern Premier League runs its own successful academy league and the Player Of The
Year winner was by midfielder Lewis Belgrave of Mickleover Sports.The team for the academy,
which boasted four players from the Derbyshire club of Mickleover Sports was made up of Jordan
Pierpoint (Matlock Town), Manzoor Amiri (Mickleover Sports), Joe Ruane (Warrington Town), Scott
Taylor (Belper Town), Morgan Williams (Mickleover Sports), Lewis Belgrave (Mickleover Sports),
Adam Leach (Radcliffe Borough), Stephen Stretton (Radcliffe Borough), Jordan Lee (Matlock
Town), Jake Dickinson (Mickleover Sports) and Euan Woods (Warrington Town)

Each season the supporters get to chose their own winners through the Northern Premier League
Facebook group; this year Dale Hopson of Whitby Town took the prize ahead of Rokka and Maguire.
Hopson has been key for Blues in their promotion push.

The other award that was handed out on Sunday night was the lifetime achievement award, which
went to Clitheroe FC chairwomen, Ann Barker.
